Cool! There are two parts of this, I guess: making Sugar recognize
.desktop files, and generating .desktop files from Sugar activity.info
files. Like I briefly outlined in my previous message, you could have
the activity registry export a ~/.sugar-xdg directory (say) whether
via FUSE or by old-fashioned "write the files to the filesystem and
keep them up to date" and with an appropriate XDG_DATA_DIR we can
interoperate both ways.
